You were always one of my favorites.

Ha ha ha! That was Richard Hand! It is hard to believe the guy has disappeared for ten years. For a several months there, he kept bouncing back time and again despite the emotional tamtrums. Then, he disappeared for good.

I perused that board for a while, then I stated posting when I got a PC, I think November 1999.

I remember Richard Hand calling all pitcher injuries shoulder injuries, no matter what the injury. I mentioned it and he kicked me off his Little red Wagon newsletter... I think it was here I read that he was mentioned by Marty on a broadcast once.

I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.

Even before the Griffey rumors, there were some trolls. Does anyone remember Manny about the time the Reds played the Indians in interleague play? He was booted but came back as Manny's Momma. He was a pain but was entertaining. I suspected he may have been Nux's first incarnation.

I was there, right in the middle of it all. A guy named Brian Butts from Cincy.com was the "supposed" moderator of the forum. I sent him a sarcastic email one time telling him he was doing one heck of a job overseeing the forum.

Richard's Reply:

I got my feelings hurt.

Seriously though, that was the way he responded in a lot of his posts. Did he even make the trek over to Redszone?
